The Town was awarded a grant from the New York State Office for the Aging in 2010-2011 for senior centex improvements. The funding is allowing us to make necessary repairs and upgrades to our main Centex in Mattituck and purchase new equipment. We will be repurposing existing equipment and furniture to the Peconic Recreation Center in order to expand our sexviccs. This location ia desirable because the Town's Senior Citizen Clubs currently meet bi-monthly at the facility and Peconic ia more centrally located with close proximity to public transportation for improved access for eastern parts of the township. The service catchment area for Sonthcid Town's nutritional program is the North Fork of Long Island, an area of approximately 70 square miles. Because of its vast rural nature, vital transportation is provided to our senior participants via bus or van. There are 13 vehicles assigned to the Senior Center for the purpose of delivoring meals to the homebeund and transporting seniors to the Centex, six of which are leased to the Town by Suffolk County Office for the Aging. Transportation to the satellite center will be considered based on demand and capacity of existing transpemtion systems in place. $outhold Town is proposing to continue providing nutrition and supportive sea, ices to senior citizens 60 years of age and older.

We have experienced an increased demand for transportation services since last year and have worked diligently to service thc needs of our senior residents to meet this demand. IV.1.C.T~ge~ing: Home Delivered Meal Program IV.I.D.Targeting: Congregate Meal Program Targoting the low-income minority elderly living in Southold Town, particularly in thc Village of Greenport (4% of seniors in our catchment area in this category) ~ra~aim a high priority. By increasing our visibility and expanding access to services, we continue our focus on reaching as many seniors as possible that need · and will benefit from our program, particularly the frail, low-income and low income minority elderly who are nutn'tionslly at-risk: According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 4% of the elderly residents in Southold Town are minority. From January 2011 to date, we served 3.5% minority seniors in our combined nulxition programs. Two new initiatives for 2011 include the establishment of a satellite nutrition program at the Peconic Recreation Center which is made possible through a NYSOFA grant for improvements to senior centers. The grant award is allowing us to equip the newly renovated Peconic Center with the appropriate food service set up and make necessary repairs to our main center in Mattituclc Given its more central . location and closet proximity to G-teenport, we are hoping to improve access to minority seniors who would have less distance to travel. The Peconic Center also serves as the venue for the town wide senior club meetings two times monthly and our initial plan is to provide lunch on site to eligible seniors. If there is a demonstrated need for transportation seceices, a regular route bus run will be ennsiderecl. We are looking forward to working with SCOFA in implementing this satellite program pending the necessary approvals. Lincla Ortiz was appointed as Director for Community Action for Southold Town (CAST) this past year and has been active in reaching out to our staff on ~ferrsis involving individuals 60 years of age and older, particularly low income minority elderly. Since CAST serves a large minority component, this is a very effective community linkage. CAST is also provided regular access to our community services room at the Center. RFQ No. 001/2011/MVK SC Law No. ll-AC~020 RFQ For Nutrition Programs for the Elderly Ms. Ortiz and I are developing a plan for a cooperative program in which minority seniors using CAST services will be picked up at the Greanport office and accompanied to our senior canter for lunch regularly or to our satellite program in Peconic whan available. Ms. Ortiz reports that many of the minority,._,. saniors who come to her office do not disclose their physical addresses for a variety of rensons but would come to the nutrition center if introduced to the program gradually. Our Senior Canter Manager, Jacqueline Martinez is fluant in Spanish and will accompany me to presant to the Hispanic Parish Ministry at St. Agnes Church in Coreenport. The weekly Spanish masses and community meetings held on Saturday evenings will provide an effective venue for expanded outreach. Plans are also being formulated to provide on-site outreach at the CAST office in Greanport to sh-engthen our targeting efforts. In 2010, Southold Senior Services partnered with the North Fork Woman to Woman Fund in their NYSOFA's Community Empowennant Aging in Place Grant Program to expand and enhance awareness and service delivery to the lesbian anmmunity on the North Fork. We are also working closely with the SAGE (Services and Advocacy for Gay Elders) Long Island organization to expand their activities and services to the LGBT community on the East End. Currently the group meets at the Center bi-monthly for socialization and a late afternoon lunch. Meals are provided to eligible seniors in the group and they are provided the opportunity to make a voluntary and anonymous contn'bution. Ineligible participants must pay the guest price. An additional target population is thc kosher population. Outreach efforts will include contact with the Rabbi at the Tifereth Isracl Synagogue in C-reanport to schedule an informational presantstion to thc congregation. On going activities to broaden our community outreach, include daily public service announcements on Cablevision Channel 22 - Governmant Access Television and WLNG-Radio/92.1FM. In addition to our current print materials, ie, brochures, newspapers, senior canter menus and activity calendars, we are now featured in Eastern Long Island Hospital's newsletter along with Saniors Options and Solutions Program. (SOS). The newsletter, which has a town wide distribution, will has a dedicated section for seniors highlighting the pwgrams and services aVailable to them. Eastern Long Island Hospital's SOS Program also provides monthly wellness seminars at the Senior Canter in conjunction with thc Mantal Health Association of Suffolk. This program is funded under the NYS-OMH Mental/Physical Hanlth Integration Grant administered by South Oaks Hospital. We provide round trip h'anspo~ation to any interested senior in Southold Town. All manus and activities arc posted weekly on the Town's official website at southoldtown.nor thforknet. Wc also continued our conUaet with King Kullan Pharmacy to print our program information on 24,000 prescription bags for 2011. We also employ ongoing outreach efforts to medical facilities, doctor's offices, senior citizen club meetings, local churches, and other special groups or organizations that focus on serving our sanior population. Suffolk County Office for the Aging has also assisted us in our outreach efforts. Wc also continue existing practices of public service announcements, distribution of program and informational brochures and activities calandar throughout the Town, ongoing program announcements in the Suffolk Times Community Calendar page and Senior Sourccbook: We also employ ongoing ouireach activities including informational presentations by program staff and/or distribution of print material to medical facilities, doctor's offices, selgor citizen club meetings, local churches, and other special groups or or/anizations that focus on serving our senior population. Suffolk County Office for the Aging has also assisted us in our outreach cffo~s. The second initiative is the establishmant of a new town wide interdepartmantal GIS (Geographic Information System). This new geographic information system will allow us to review and analyze service data to improve our outreach efforts by allowing us to clearly identify and target underserved areas and carixmt delivery patterns. This system will also be useful in setting up a more efficient regular route tnmsportation system to both nutrition sites. An added feature of superimposing mapping applications will provide us the opportunity to identify seniors in low lying areas and flood zones for improved emergancy preparedness planning. RFQ ~o. 001/2011/MVK SC Law N~ Il-AG-020 RFQ For Nutrition Programs for the Elderly IV.D. Coordination: Hom~ Delivered Meal Program IV.E. Coordination: Congregate Meal Program Southold Town sponsors a monthly meeting of the Town's Committen on Health Care Issues and the Elderly. The committee meets regularly and has a diverse group membership of 28 agencies representing health eamaM community sec'vice providors from both the private and public sectors. The meeting provides networking opportunities for profi~ssionals and allows for a valuable exchange of information and coo~'mation of the resources available to our senior population. Tlie committee also provides a'mechanism for minimizing duplication of programming for improved services to seniors. Within our agency, the Compass/SAMS assessments allow us to maintain a comprehensive record on each client we serve and assist in optimizing coordination with formal service providers. Our professional staffreviews and discusses our clientele at regular intervals in order to develop the most appropriate, individualized care plan and follow-up services. Program staffshures common office space, which provides for optlmnl information exchange and improved coordination of service. A confidential log sheet is maintained in our main office that reflects daily stares changes that occur with each individual client. Program staffaceasses this log daily and provides follow-up accordingly. The log serves as an internal mechanism to reduce duplication of services provided to our program participants by our staff. In 2009, Southold Town Senior Services partnered with Eastern Long Island's Gerla~ic Center of Excellence in the development and implementation of a senior community needs survey. Data from 400 respondents (including Fishers Island) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs and services and client satisfaction. Transportation and available in-home care and related costs continue to be a concera for many seniors. In 2010 a focus group was formed and members of ELIH staff and local community members, business people and local government representatives convened to assist the Town of Sonthold in the future development of the Human Services Chapter Southold Town's 2020 Comprehensive Plan for Human Services. Partnerships were also developed with South Oaks Hospital, The Mental Health Association of Suffolk County and ELIH Senior Options and Solutions. Program to implement the NYS ' Geriatric MentaVPhysieal Health Integration Grant. In 2010, 736 mental health seresaings through primary care physieiass were completed along with 74 assessments and 568 direct client enntacts and 992 coordinated service refenal contacts. In 2011 Southold Town Senior Sorviees reenived $9,000 in funding to support transportation costs related to the co-location of services as part of this initiative. Seniors enrolled in our Congregate Meals Program benefit directly from these on-site services as well as the monthly senior wellness classes provided through this grant. In 2010, 11 programs were offered with 186 seniors participating. Home Delivered Meals recipients also benefitted from available in-home counseling servieex at no cost. In 2011, ELIH Geriatric Center of Exeellenco will focus on a new networking program with Southold Senior Services for improved coordination with disebargo planners on in-patient follow-up and discharge support for seniors accessing the emergency room resulting in a non-admission. These seniors who often frequent the ER, are at particular risk and without admission to the hospital, comprehensive assessment of community based needs is not done. Juliet Fredella, Director ofthe Senior Options and Solutions Program will work closely with Senior Services in identifying and developing protocols for further evaluation, referral and linkage to appropriate community based programs and services for seniors at-risk. In 2009, Southold Town Senior Services opened a Community Services Room to improve access to services for seniors on the north fork. Deal/cared office space, with phone and computer support is provided to agencies offering services to seniors at no cost. Current on-site providers include SCOFA Advocate, ELH-I Senior Options and Solutions, CAST, Suffolk County Departments of Labor and Veterans Services (by appointment), RSVP Telephone Reessurence Program, Touro Law School Senior Citizen Law Project and Mental Health Association of Suffolk.

While service delivery is slightly below 2012 projections, I would request we continue with our current service delivery plan for 2013 (112 units per day to for home delivered meals and 57 meals per day for congregate meals). Our program staff continues to work diligently with our homebound clients and their families to promote the transition to the congregate dining program once they are no longer eligible for the home delivered meals program. For 2013, our anticipated income for the III-C -1 (Congregate Dining) Program is $45,000.00 and $74,000 for the III-C-2 (Home Delivered Meals) Program. Our suggested, voluntary and anonymous contribution will remain at $4.00 per meal for eligible seniors. No senior is denied a meal for inability or unwillingness to contribute. A 2011 initiative of establishing a satellite nutrition program at the Peconic Recreation Center through a NYSOFA grant for improvements to senior centers is still in progress. The grant award allowed us to equip the Peconic Center with the appropriate food service set up. Once all ftre suppression equipment is installed, we will contact SCOFA and SCDOH and move forward with the approval process. Since the Peconic Center is more centrally located, we will be in closer proximity to the easternmost areas of the town and anticipate an increase in senior participants. The Peconie Center serves as the venue for the town wide senior club meetings four times monthly and our initial plan is to provide lunch on site to eligible seniors after their meetings. We are also planning to establish regular route transportation for seniors who want to attend the program in Peconic who find the center in Mattituek too far. We are looking forward to working with SCOFA in implementing this satellite program. Tareetinlt Plan: In following the guidelines set forth under the Older Americans Act, Southold Town Senior Services is committed to our goal of providing nutrition and support services to our elderly residents. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 4% of the elderly residents in Southold Town are minority. For January 2012 to date, we served 3.46% minority elderly in our Congregate Dining Program and 4.66% in our Home Delivered Meals program. Southold Town Senior Services will ensure aecess for services to the four target groups which have the greatest economic and social needs. These groups include minorities, low income, frail and vulnerable persons of the age of 60. This is also to include those with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgander (LGBT) older adults. We will also ensure access to services for all languages through a contract that has been established with Propio Language Services. Staffis aware of and trained in the timely and appropriate use of these languages services. Staff will ensure that those with limited English proficiency (LEP) are informed of the availability of free language assistance by providing written notice in languages the LEP person will understand at service locations. We will also provide information on the Town's website and issue a press release informing Southold residents, community service organizations and local churches about the available language assistance. Access will also be provided via the Southold Town Justice Court's comprehensive list of court interpreters that they available pursuant to section 387 of the Judiciary Law. We have increased visibility and expanded access to our services. Community Action for Southold Town (CAST)Director, Linda Ortiz, has been active in reaching out to our staff on referrals involving individuals 60 years of age and older. Since CAST serves a large minority component, this is an effective linkage. CAST will also resume rotating monthly through our community services room at the Center and is currently working with us to improve service to vulnerable seniors. In 2013, Ms. Ortiz will continue our efforts to develop a cooperative program in which minority seniors linked to CAST services will be transported from the Grecnport location and accompanied to our senior center for lunch regularly. Ms. Ortiz reports that many of the minority seniors who come to her office do not disclose their physical addresses for a variety of reasons but would come to the nutrition center if introduced to the program gradually. Senior Center Manager, Jacqualine Martinez and Senior Citizen Aide, Auristhela Reinan, will be assisting the Director in developing and expanding outreach activities as they are both fluent in Spanish. Lynne Richards, Southold Town Disabilities and ADA Coordinator now has an office on site at the Senior Center one day per week to provide advocacy to town residents with disabilities and their families. Seniors with disabilities can access various services including ADA compliance questions/complaints and can receive assistance in identifying and applying for services. The Town also assists income eligible seniors with necessary modifications through the home repair program funded with community development block grant funds. The Town has earmarked funding for 2013 for the purchase of portable ramps to assist seniors in accessing their homes after temporary illness or injury. Our Residential Repair Program is also available to install grab bars or other adaptive devices to assist seniors in need of special equipment. Lastly, we have two available CCTV units on site and at the Island Community Center on Fishers Island to better assist seniors with low vision remain independent with their IADL's. Funding for these magnifiers was provided through New York State Office of Children and Family Services. In 2010 Southold Senior Services partnered with the North Fork Woman for Woman Fund in their NYSOFA's Community Empowerment Aging in Place Grant Program to expand and enhance awareness and service delivery to the lesbian community on the North Fork. In 2011, we began working with the SAGE organization to expand their activities and services to the LGBT community on the north fork. 'fie continue to broaden our community outreach efforts to include daily public service announcements on Cablevision Channel 22 - Government Access Television and WLNG- Radio/92.1FM. In addition to our existing print outreach activities of brochures, newspapers, senior center menus and activity calendars and we are featured in Eastern Long Island Hospital's newsletter along with Seniors Options and Solutions Program. (SOS). The newsletter, which has a town wide distribution, will has a dedicated section for seniors highlighting the programs and services available to them. Eastern Long Island Hospital's SOS Program also provides monthly wellness seminars at the Senior Center in conjunction with the Mental Health Association of Suffolk. We provide round trip transportation to any interested senior in Southold Town. In 2011 the Town of Southold launched a new website ~southoldtown. northfork, net where all menus and activities are posted weekly and important links for forms and services can be easily accessed. Emereencv Plan: Southold Town's Emergency Response Plan is on file with the Suffolk County Office of Emergency Services as mandated. The Senior Services Director serves as a Deputy Emergency Management Team for Southold Town. The Human Resource Center is a designated non- medical special needs evaeuatiun shelter for the Town. The Senior Center on-call staffis trained in working with the elderly and the both the main building and our annex building are equipped with emergency generators. The annex building, Katinka House, houses our social model adult day care program and is designed to shelter cognitively impaired/frail seniors without special medieai needs. The American Red Cross provides training annually to shelter volunteers to provide for additional support as needed during emergencies. In addition, Town of Southold has earmarked Community Development Funds for 2013 to renovate two existing bathrooms and add shower facilities. In the event of an emergency (weather related or other, i.e. terrorism alert, ere). The Town Supervisor acts as the Emerganey Manager for the Town. He declares a state of emergency, and mobilizes the emergency management team. The local Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a clearinghouse for all calls. The EOC identifies the need and directs individuals to the appropriate services. The Senior Center staffhas a list of seniors that are identifies as high priority for evacuation and the Senior Center Director and staff call the seniors and notify the local EOC. The volunteer fire departments coordinate with the evacuation centers. Seniors with special medical needs are transported to the medical special needs shelters designated by the Town of Southold and Suffolk County Joint Emergency Evacuation Program (Currently Peeoni¢ Landing and San Simeon by the Sound are Medical Special Needs Shelters). Those seniors without special needs are directed to the general evacuation center in their local schools. For all seniors, the local radio stations broadcast instructions for emergency preparedness and direct them to the appropriate evacuation centers. In 2007 our Town launched a special needs evacuation registry for our most vulnerable residents. All applicants were screened and registered with the Southold Town Police Department and cross registered with Suffolk County Emergency Management JEEP program (when indicated). In 2013, Senior Services will provide assistance with completing the emergency management screening forms as part of the initial assessment visit. The Town will maintain the data bases regularly so information remains current so individuals are provided instruction and/or given appropriate assistance and shelter support. With the in~oduction of the new GIS system, data on our frail seniors can be entered into a central data base which will interface with emergency evacuation lists and vulnerable flood zone If the Center is closed early for a weather related emergency, all seniors are transported to their homes. If the Center is closed, seniors are alerted via the local radio stations and SCOFA is notified. All seniors on home delivered and congregate meal programs are provided with a packet of instructions to follow in the event of an emergency of the Center closing. In many instances, our Center remains open with no transportation provided. All home delivered meal participants are provided with emergency frozen and shelf stable meals to uso in the event our van drivers cannot safely deliver due to the weather. These seniors are all called in the early morning and notified when drivers cannot deliver. An announcement is also made on the local radio station. In addition to service as an emergency shelter for hurricanes and serious storms, we also serve as a "cooling" center for seniors during periods of intense heat. In reviewing the Town's response to Superstorm Sandy, Senior Services played a pivotal role in coordinating evacuation of frail seniors to Peconic Landing and to the Human Resource Center. Ongoing communication with SCOFA allowed for greater coordination of"wellness checks" on seniors at greatest risk, particularly in the al~ermath of the storm that le~ so many seniors without power. As part of future plans for outreach, family members of the most vulnerable seniors will be contacted well in advance to assist in developing a individual safety plan well in advance of an emergency.

We employ both full time and part time caseworkers who are our primary assessors for home delivered meals reeipiants.
